SOUTH AUSTRALIAN JOCKEY CLUB

Mrs REDMOND (Heysen) (14:43): My question is to the Minister for Recreation, Sport and Racing. Has the minister received either a full copy of the Lipman Karas report into matters concerning the SAJC or a briefing on the report's contents and, if so, has he referred any matters in the report to SA Police for further investigation?

The Hon. M.J. WRIGHT (Lee—Minister for Police, Minister for Emergency Services, Minister for Recreation, Sport and Racing) (14:44): No: I have not received a report. I am hoping to receive a report. I said a few weeks ago that I expected I would receive a report.

Have I received a briefing on the content? I have had a briefing about the process rather than the content. I met with Mr Bentley and Mr Boulton, the chair and deputy chair of Thoroughbred Racing SA, and they talked to me more about process. They might have talked a little bit about the content, but to the best of my memory—

Members interjecting:

The Hon. M.J. WRIGHT: I don't know why you are laughing. To the best of my memory, the discussion was more about process.
